Common answers to common questions

How much time will you invest?

Our minimum time investment will be 3 months and max 4 months if something unexpected appears. Getting the attention of the right people takes time and from the first meeting to the signed documents there are some long weeks.

Do we need to work together the whole 3 months?

If we see that your involvement is not serious, then we will stop the collaboration.

Do you guarantee us that we’ll receive the investment?

Nobody will have the power to guarantee that. We can open some good doors, but it’s still up to you to gain the investors trust.

What happens after the collaboration ends?

The result of the collaboration can be in two ways – either you received an investment, or a solid feedback from the investors. Depending on the outcome, we can have future discussions of the next steps.
